"You're lovely": SZA praises Kai Cenat with a wholesome message after being told to criticize his hygiene

On January 21, 2025, SZA appeared on the Hot Ones Versus episode on First We Feast's YouTube channel and praised Twitch star Kai Cenat while answering a question about his hygiene. The question, posed by actress and producer Issa Rae around the nine-minute mark, was intended to criticize the streamer. However, the singer-songwriter's wholesome remarks about the internet star went viral on social media.

During the show, Issa Rae read a question for SZA about the time she and Lizzo appeared on Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 2 marathon stream in November 2024, where they commented on the streamer's hygiene. She said:

"This is a question for SZA. You and Lizzo recently appeared on Kai Cenat's stream and roasted him for his personal hygiene. Look into the camera and tell Kai the three things he needs to do to get his sh*t together."

SZA called the question rude and instead praised Cenat, describing the Twitch star as having "effervescent spring flower energy." She also said he doesn't smell:

"First of all that was so crazy and so rude. Kai, you are lovely. You are effervescent spring flower energy. You don't smell. You don't need to do anything."

SZA continued to praise Cenat for his uplifting content and thanked him for promoting her album and supporting her:

"I think you're God-fearing, your mother is wonderful and she's clearly embraced you and supported you. You uplift everyone, you turned my album up so much. I'm so grateful for your support."

What did Lizzo and SZA say about Kai Cenat's hygiene during the Mafiathon 2 stream?

Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 2 Twitch stream in 2024 was a significant milestone for the content creator. The broadcast lasted the entire month of November, featuring several celebrities who appeared on camera and collaborated with Cenat.

Like in many other marathon Twitch streams, Cenat was live 24/7, including during his showers. On November 24, 2024, Lizzo and SZA appeared on the broadcast, and a camera captured them discussing Cenat's hygiene.

At one point, SZA asked:

"He seems like a clean person, right?"

Lizzo then joked that Cenat likely hadn't washed his privates in a long time because he had been showering with trunks on during the Mafiathon 2 stream:

"Well, he hasn't washed his ba**s in a long time. He has been showering with the trunks on, that's what they said. On stream. For 23 days."

SZA then commented:

"His m**t's been dry for 23 days? I don't believe it."

The clip went viral at the time, garnering millions of impressions on social media platforms like X and Instagram.
